      • Which pump / pumping principle is necessary for which application?
      • Which physical / chemical parameters are important for a useful pump?
      • External pump or integration into a microfluidic chip - what is better?
The IVAM Focus Group Microfluidics launches a series of meetings titled "Microfluidics in Practice". The aim of these meetings is to examine various aspects of the successful operation of microfluidic chips. In discussions, the members of the Focus Group want to bring together all the necessary tools, theories, but also experts to help users decide on the right microfluidic chips as well as the right peripheric equipment. The main subject is how to control the flow through a microfluidic device. Different pump manufacturers for chemical applications as well as for biotechnological and medical applications will discuss the respective criteria with the participants.
